I am posting this thread as much to help myself as to help others. Tuesday was my scheduled "quit day" and I let that little devil on my shoulder talk me into buying a pack on Tuesday "just to have around if cravings get to be too much". It was STUPID! Now it's Thursday evening, the cigarettes have been gone since about 3pm and that damn little devil is back!

Well, reading articles about low carbing helped me break the carb addiction so I've been reading articles about how quitting smoking benefits my BG and helps to cure my insulin resistance. First I found this one that is pretty cool. It's a timetable of how the benefits of quitting smoking steadily grow over time:

Another I found is how quitting smoking directly effects BG levels:

I found lots of others, but at this point those are the two that stick out to me.

TAKE THAT YOU DAMN DEVIL!

That's it. I am now a non-smoker. I WILL NOT CHEAT!
